Not good

Reviewed By: Curt on 12/12/2008

Tech Level: high - Ownership: 1 week to 1 month

This user purchased this item from Newegg

Pros: Small, comes with nice padded casing

Cons: Bought this drive to ensure I have a backup of all my files at home. Loaded the information on it. Put it in a safe place, went back three weeks later to retrieve some information, was clicking and stopped working. Good thing I did not really need the information too badly as I had an additional backup on my desktop. Requesting and RMA on it now.
